Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has increasingly been recognised as a growing global health threat (WHO, 2012), and the urgency of the AMR situation is now well accepted by many policy-makers, scientists, as well as by civil society organisations, including patients’ advocacy groups. Despite growing awareness and concern, inertia appears to persist in improving stewardship of existing antimicrobials to prevent a future with more resistant bacteria (Dowling et al., 2013). For instance, in comparison with climate change, while there appears to be increasing scientific consensus about the urgency of countering the impact of global warming, this is perhaps less clear (or at least the emerging consensus is less coherent) for antimicrobial resistance.
